Data

Hello,I have a problem with exporting dxf file. I use shp file reader to import polygons and i would like to export them to dxf format (dxf file will be used later in old version of GlobalMapper). I dont know how to export dxf with fill colors. Which writer should i use and which options must be selected to get polygons (not lines ) with fill color.

I am writing some geom to a KML file and wanting to group the data by Phasing. I have used the feature type name to identify the grouping. When it writes the KML the groups are shows as kml_id_doc_1.1.11.4kml_id_doc_1.1.11.5kml_id_doc_1.1.11.6Does anyone know what is going wrong and how I can fix it?Thanks

My workflow successfully read in the 600,000 dgn features, ran through a Matcher transformer to eliminate duplicates, was going through a featuremerger and geometry filter where it bombed as it was writing to shapefiles. The error - f_67(CreationFactory): Error - Number of measures found on the 'line/path' geometry did not match features number of coordinatesI have my Reader set to Master coordinate units. Has anyone seen this error and is there either a setting or some other filter/transformer that can be added to fix this?I'm reading MicroStation V8, processing in FME 2017

Hi!Working with Sentinel data, you get some 120 files i a zip file (standard download). Only three are needed to make an rgb image with FME (as described in this post: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/43742/making-rgb-images-with-sentinel-data.html).This workspace snippet begins to extract these file names and should then pipe them to the next step (there is more to follow). But I am unable to figure out what goes into the gap between the TestFilter and the RasterBand... transformer. I simply need to get the path_windows attribute to be understood as an input file.

Hello y'all,I submitted a large international airport file to your online IMDF validation portal and I haven't received an error report yet, it has been over 45 mins since I submitted the file. I have uploaded a smaller file, and I received an error report. Is there a file size limit with the online validation? I appreciate any guidance! I am using FME Workbench 2018.1.Thank you!

I am creating a workbench to be uploaded to FME Server. As part of the workbench I want the user to be able to upload their own shapefile (Any shapefile, no restrictions.). How do I setup the user parameters to allow this to happen?Thanks for any help.B

Hi,I've developed a workflow to convert about 100 dgn files into mapinfo and cad formats. In essence I have a single merged .dgn reader. Each .dgn is read in and some geoprocessing happens to make layernames explicit and then a writeback happens. The issue is that the writeback will only happen once everything is read in. The output features are named based on the input file.For cad writeback using a fanout: @Value(fme_basename).dwgFor mapinfo writeback using TABLE NAME: LinearFeature_@Value(fme_basename)What I would like to happen is once the source dgn is read it gets written which should free up memory and hopfully speed up the process.This has sort of been asked before with write features as they are read from @mapper @david_r and also Write outputs before translation is complete from @jamiefinney and @redgeographicsHowever I am not sure how to implement the master-child pattern suggested by @redgeographics.Below is a screenshot of the workflow however in essence itsRead d

Hi,I have a list of lat/long points in a text file and I would like to see where they fall onto a map. Is it possible to plot them over an existing shp file? How would I do it?Thank you!

Dear community!First of all I've to say that I'm very new in the world of FME.I have the following problem with the conversion from a simple 2D point feature to a non-spatial pdf. I'm familiar with the transformers (PDFStyler, PDFPageFormatter) and the Adobe Geospatial PDF File - Writer which I need for my pdf output. But I've no idea how to extract the information (Atttributes) of the points and write it in a table or list (in an ordered way) in a PDF. My problem is that the attributes are distributed spatially (according to their actual location in the map) across the PDF output after the LabelPointReplacer.thx for your help

I have a large number (> 1000) of mapinfo files that I need to convert into an esri geodatabase but i do not know the geometry of each mapinfo tab or have the time to find out each.Is there a way to automatically convert to the correct geometry type when selecting folders of data?

Hello There we are using google Sheet reader, but when published on the FME server, we are getthing access error we tested the workspace on the server , its seems like it not even reaching the autentification page , I beleive its due to restriction on the server, what is the URL we should give the system admin to clear it Thanks

I have CSV file with x/y coordinates, text, text size, text angle. How can I convert is to a DWG file with text not points?

@Mark2AtSafe could you share an IMDF Archive example export from FME with me?

how convert my autocad file to revit file?

It looks like there might be a limitation of only being able to use a single file upload parameter for a workspace when running the workspace through the FME Server Javascript API. Does anyone have any experience with this, or how to overcome the limitation? I'm assuming that we will need to resort to the REST API?Here's what the documentation for the Javascript API states for the FMEServer.runWorkspaceWithData( path, parameters, callback ) method:parametersObjectThe Object representing the parameters:  { filename : workspace_file_parameter_name, files : files_object, params : name_value_pair_string, service : service_name }Note that there is only a single "filename" parameter. You can upload multiple files to that parameter but it's just one parameter.

I am encountering this error in FME when trying to do a POST request using the HTTPCaller when trying to reindex ArcGIS Portal using FME Desktop 2016.1. The ArcGIS Portal token was retrieved successfully before Portal reindex that means the proxy settings works fine.HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): HTTP/FTP transfer error: 'Failure when receiving data from the peer' HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): Please ensure that your network connection is properly set up HTTPCaller(HTTPFactory): No proxy settings have been entered. If you require a proxy to access external URLs, please ensure the appropriate information has been entered

I am using FME to update (Insert mode) an existing Google Fusion table. My FME Workspace runs successfully with no errors and shows that it writes the features. However, the Google Fusion table shows no edits or features inserted. Any ideas? My Google Fusion writer has the credentials of the owner of the Google Fusion table so permissions should not be an issue.Thanks,Sasha

Hi.I have multiple excels as input. I am carrying out the summary from StatisticCalculator and writing the output in excel itself using batch mode. The output is Output_<input file name>. The number of input files is the same as the number of the output file. Now, what I want is to get output in one single excel in multiple sheets(tabs) with sheet name as Output_<input file name>. Will the same thing work with Batch mode? What I already tried is to use the sheet name as the reader parameter but the output is not as desired. Also, I tried FileNamePartExtractor, the attributes are blank. Any solutions?

Hi,So I have an oracle database with oracle timestamps as one of the columns. How can I make it so the reader only reads records between today and 7 days ago based on that timestamp? Otherwise I'll be reading millions of useless recordsThanks so much!  

Hi,I must update a Oracle table. I use this parameters on the Writer:Create Table: NoTruncate Existing Table:YesWriter Mode: INSERTBut the table is not updated. Can you help me?

hi. i have a gps file with dxf format. how can convert it to rinex format with FME.?

Hi,I am exporting a contour featureclass into AutoCAD, Geopackage, and shapefiles using the FeatureWriter transformer by exporting by contour grid. My contour featureclass is in 1km2 grids (255 grids) and is set up in the FeatureWriter to write out$(External_Location)\\Contours\\@Value(GRID)_DWG.zip where @value(grid) is the contour grid and "_DWG.zip" allows me to easily search/select from within the folder each format (the others being "_SHP.zip" and "_GEO.zip").The setting under General--> Layer Name: @value(GRID)For shapefiles the shapefile is just the grid name (ie.50-75.shp within folder 50-75_SHP.zip) but for geopackage and autocad the folder naming schema extends to the layer within despite the general layer name being set to @value(GRID) (ie. 50-75_DWG.dwg within folder 50-75_DWG.zip). Am I missing a setting? 

I have a raster with z-values and would like to export it to a 3D pdf, with some specific symbology. I have already successfully created a 3D pdf with contour data (following this tutorial), transformed into a TIN and then overlaid by a raster, but the resolution is not good enough so I would like to use the original raster. Any help is highly appreciated and I hope that somebody can guide me in the right direction on which transformers to use!

Hi,I am trying to migrate data from our GeoDatabase (SQL Server), to native SQL Server Spatial but cannot get Spatial to write polygons. As you know ESRI store polygons as simple features, and cannot store it as Curved PolygonHow can you write it as a polygonSQL Server spatial store, example belowCURVEPOLYGON (COMPOUNDCURVE ((321812.2796 5810770.8994, 321768.84219999984 5810777.0451, 321768.86170000024 5810777.1837, 321775.38910000026 5810823.4657, 321767.89279999956 5810842.0508, 321778.49299999978 5810846.3264, 321779.66550000012 5810854.6341, 321779.69000000041 5810854.6436, 321812.2796 5810770.8994)))I have tried the geometryExtractor and geometryReplacer, but the final result is not 100% curved (arc), and is just a set a straight lines

Hi all,as in topic: I have problems with existing formatting of xls file where I want to write/update one sheet. Till today workbench worked as it should. No problems occurred. Today complete disaster. In whole file formatting is vanished, the table where I update data there is no formatting, so I don't do anything with FME to create it sth else connected. When I open xls file I get message that: we found problems with some content do you want to recover file if you trust the source of it? After recovery there is no formatting anymore :(EDIT:Only change is that to formula OR within xls I've add one more argument (now there are 3 of them). File is saved as xlsm (it was like this from the beginning) but issue is solved if I save file as xls. Anyway I can't use this file format, I need macro enable one.I've tried to upload reader and writer once again previously deleting old once. Issue stays :(Any ideas what I can do?
